RICHMOND, VA (July 2, 2018) – Based on their performances throughout the Girls ECNL conference season, the inaugural Girls ECNL / United Soccer Coaches All-Conference Teams and Conference Players of the Year have been selected for the 2017-2018 season.

Players were chosen through a recommendation and voting process involving representatives from every club in every conference. Each All-Conference team is comprised of 11 players at each age group from U15 through U18/U19. In addition, a Conference Player of the Year was chosen at each age group. All players selected to the Girls ECNL / United Soccer Coaches All-Conference teams will be eligible for the Girls ECNL / United Soccer Coaches All-American Team to be announced later this summer.

“Players that distinguish themselves at the highest level of club soccer deserve to be recognized for their efforts and performances, and we are excited to award these honors to them,” said Girls ECNL President Christian Lavers. “These exceptional players will continue to make their mark in the Girls ECNL and college soccer for years to come.”
